"Is Zelda an RPG?"

This is for all you goons to decide.

Im starting off by saying: Zelda is an RPG and it is also an Adventure/Action game.

Let the arguing Begin!

How WS hmmmm?

Tony Hawks is a game that has you raise the stats and choose the moves of said character. Yet it is blatently a sports game or sub-genre Extreme sports.

Many Beat 'em ups do the same.

It's difficult isn't it. I'd like to say Zelda is an RPG despite lacking several key elements.

No you cretin, I was mocking your pathetic attempt at arguing the case.

The same could be said for Mario Kart as well.

He's right you know.

I think you have misunderstood what I meant.

SO therefore Beat 'em ups and Tony Hawks is an RPG?

I don't call a post apocolypse world, full of mutants and strange radioactive monsters a normal, factual world.

But fallout and Nightfire are set in a normal factual wolrd that we live in, unlike Zelda Link lives in a world that has fictional creatures such as Goron's, Zora's and Plant creatures.

safe

See, Golden Sun and Final Fantasy involve stats, Zelda doesn't.


That's about as useful as saying that Nightfire is an RPG because it, and Fallout, both have guns as weapons, and Fallout is an RPG.
